Chapter 1260

~8 min read 1,509 words

So, what mystery is under the river water? The underground dark river water quality was clear, He Lingchuan took out the Tenglong Spear and stabbed it down, but couldn't reach the bottom.

"Quite deep, no wonder the water flow becomes slow here."

It's no wonder the Soul-Absorbing Mirror couldn't discover it; water has always been the best medium to isolate divine sense exploration.

Fu Liushan threw acorn people into the water to detect the situation at the bottom of the water, and then sat down and closed his eyes.

Several ghosts also floated behind to watch the fun, and seeing this, they said: "We'll come to help too."

After saying that, they dived into the water silently.

Two moments later, Fu Liushan opened his eyes and said:

"The bottom of the water is about one zhang deep, with quite a few stone pits and stone cracks, but I didn't see any abnormality."

Other ghosts landed one after another, all saying they didn't see any hidden entrance or exit.

After hearing this, He Lingchuan took out the Turtle Pearl, put it in his mouth, and went into the water.

The people and ghosts on the shore saw He Lingchuan take out fluorescent spores to illuminate underwater and swim straight to the depths, as if his goal was very clear.

According to the guidance of the Divine Bone Necklace, he wandered twice and determined the direction.

There were two dark green hard rocks at the bottom of the water, no different from other stones; whether in size, shape, or feel, they were ordinary and unremarkable.

Whether it was a human or a ghost swimming near here, they probably wouldn't notice them.

But when He Lingchuan swam around them, the Divine Bone Necklace held in his palm was the hottest.

Was there a treasure inside the stone that the Great Fang Hu wanted to eat, or was the cave dwelling here? He raised the fluorescent spores, checked these two stones, and casually drew his Floating Life blade to test their hardness.

If they were some kind of pivot, they should be protected by supernatural power or an array before failing.

But the Floating Life blade poked in easily, like stabbing into two cakes.

What's going on?

"Inside!" The Soul-Absorbing Mirror suddenly prompted him. "In the stone crack, there's something!"

He Lingchuan raised the fluorescent spores and shone them deep into the stone crack, and sure enough, he saw something stuck in the crack.

He reached out and dug a few times, discovering that this thing was a pagoda-shaped...

Snail shell?

This snail shell was as long as a middle finger, with black and gray patterns, truly inconspicuous shrinking in the stone crack.

Besides, it's normal for any river to have a few snail shells.

So whether it was the acorn people or the ghosts who went into the water earlier, none of them felt there was anything unusual here.

After all, there was quite a lot of debris at the bottom of the river, branches and wood chips brought in from outside, algae, rotten fruits. The snail shell placed among them was like a tree hidden in a forest, very difficult to attract others' attention—except for He Lingchuan who was searching directionally.

Besides, the bottom of the river was full of green algae, only the surface of this snail shell was particularly clean, looking like it had been touched in a short time.

He touched this snail shell and lifted it lightly.

It didn't move at all.

The strength He Lingchuan used wasn't small, but the snail shell didn't break at all.

The hardness of this thing wasn't like an ordinary shell.

He tried rotating the snail shell again; the feel was like twisting a screw, heavy and textured.

With a "beep-pop" sound, a series of bubbles suddenly emerged from the stone crack.

The Soul-Absorbing Mirror let out a cheer: "Yo-ho, an underground secret room!"

This isn't difficult! It's not as troublesome as the time we dug the White Bear King's cave.

However, He Lingchuan waited for a while at the bottom of the water, didn't see the stone open the door, and didn't see any extra cave entrance at the bottom of the river.

But he was also very sure that he had twisted the snail shell.

So, where is the entrance to the secret room?

He searched around at the bottom of the water, no abnormality.

Just as he was racking his brains, the Soul-Absorbing Mirror suddenly said: "Put away the lighting."

He Lingchuan heard the sound and put away the fluorescent spores, so the bottom of the water returned to pitch black.

And then? The mirror said again: "Look at the water surface."

He Lingchuan looked up at the water surface, which was pitch black.

What's the problem? But he immediately reacted, without the mirror explaining again, kicked his legs, and started to float up.

The glowing moss growing on the open space by the river was also bright from the bottom of the water, so how could it be pitch black? He had searched every groove at the bottom of the river, but missed exploring upward!

He was holding the fluorescent spores earlier, and he was the brightest, so he ignored the abnormality on the shore.

He Lingchuan poked his head out of the water and shook his head.

Although he couldn't see his fingers, he could feel that the surrounding scenery had changed.

He hurriedly took out the fluorescent spores to illuminate.

Sure enough, the moss, ghosts, Fu Liushan, Dong Rui, and others were all gone; in front of him was only a stone beach and a long, narrow cave entrance.

Dark and quiet.

In the most conspicuous position on the stone wall, a concave circular niche was chiseled, and a snail shell with the same black and gray stripes was placed inside.

Needless to say, this was the mechanism to open the secret room from the inside.

He Lingchuan took two steps forward, twisted the snail shell in the niche, then turned around and jumped into the water again!

……

On the open space by the river, Dong Rui and Fu Liushan were waiting on the shore, suddenly seeing the light at the bottom of the water disappear.

"Eh?" Dong Rui poked his head. "He put away the lighting, or did he enter the secret room?"

Fu Liushan spread his hands to show he didn't know.

However, his expression immediately became serious; he took out two green candles from his arms and placed them on the ground, one on the left and one on the right, and lit them.

The candlelight was also eerie green, looking exceptionally strange.

Then, he drew a circle between the two candles, signaling Dong Rui and the two monkeys:

"Quick, quick, stand in!"

Dong Rui followed suit: "Why?"

"Evil energy is coming!" Fu Liushan pointed to the surroundings, and Dong Rui and Ling Guang only then discovered that black energy was slowly floating from the corridor and stone cracks.

This is evil energy.

With He Lingchuan here, the evil energy wouldn't entangle them.

Now that the evil energy was making a comeback, Dong Rui shrank into the circle: "I hope he really found the secret room."

The floating evil energy made a "chi" sound as soon as it touched the flame of the green candle, emitting a puff of white steam.

The flame jumped suddenly twice, as if encountering a strong wind, and these few wisps of evil energy seemed to be avoiding the flame, no longer approaching.

Fu Liushan said seriously: "My two evil-repelling candles won't last long. He'd better come out quickly."

Only after He Lingchuan left did they realize how difficult evil energy was to deal with. If there wasn't He Lingchuan, this human BUG, they would have to fight monsters while repelling evil energy; how could they have the possibility of defeating the Ghost King? Dong Rui nodded and pinched the ring on his middle finger.

Actually, there was a Punishment Dragon Pillar hidden in this ring, which could also absorb evil energy.

Their preparation work was thorough; even if they were separated in the underground palace, Dong Rui could also be immune to evil energy damage.

However, this Punishment Dragon Pillar didn't come in handy, because half an hour later, fluorescent spores lit up again at the bottom of the water.

Immediately after, He Lingchuan poked his head out from underwater, and the evil energy around him was sucked away by him.

He waved to the two: "Come down, I found the entrance."

……

The three floated to the water surface and walked onto the stone beach. The two monkeys shook the water off their bodies hard.

Fu Liushan examined this cave entrance under the illumination of the spores, looking curious: "Good fellow, how exactly did you find it?"
